MILLENNIALS AND GEN Z’ERS SEEKING HELP AND HOPE

Discussed by Lisa Anderson
with The Boundless Show (www.boundless.org)

Part 1 of 2

The most recent statistics show young adults are more likely than their parents to be pro-choice, which can be discouraging for those in the pro-life community.

As Host of The Boundless Show, Lisa Anderson is dedicated to helping both the younger and older generations by gently speaking truth on an array of topics, including abortion. Lisa is also the Director of Young Adults at Focus on the Family.

Questions/Issues Discussed:

Are thousands of young adults searching for meaning to their lives, specifically on the topics of education, careers, finances, self-development, and relationships?

Are 18 to young 30-year-olds much different than their parents? Lisa says that there are definitely many differences, especially when it comes to the culture we live in. She believes that communication is key, saying: “We need to show what it means to have Jesus intersect with our daily lives.”

In question-and-answer sessions, does the topic of abortion come up? Is there a lot of confusion about the choices women (and their partners) have instead of abortion?

Does Lisa ever have emotional conversations with post-abortive women? Lisa is excited over some upcoming radio programs she has on this very topic, sharing about a specific young couple who is now thriving because they received help from their church and a local pregnancy center.

PART 2 OF 2 - MILLENNIALS AND GEN Z’ERS SEEKING HELP AND HOPE

Discussed by Lisa Anderson
with The Boundless Show (www.boundless.org)

Questions/Issues Discussed:

Do young parents often share their life struggles with Lisa?

Is it important for the Church to be supportive of young parents? Lisa says: “The Church needs to be the Church.” She believes that helping young parents is more than just encouraging them to keep their baby; they need to walk this journey with them.

How can we encourage the younger generations to boldly stand for life?

ARE DEMOCRATS RACIST AGAINST BLACK CONSERVATIVES?

Discussed by Marie Fischer
with Project 21 (www.NationalCenter.org)

Marie Fischer is a member of Project 21, a division of the National Center for Public Policy Research. Marie is currently serving as the 3rd Vice President for the Maryland Federation of Republican Women and was recently elected Vice President of the Maryland Republican Women Leaders organization.

Today, Marie discusses the Left’s hatred of Conservatives – specifically black Conservatives.

Click here to read Marie’s op-ed on this topic.

Questions/Issues Discussed:

If the Left is so focused on finding stories of prevalent racism, why don’t they look at their own treatment of black conservatives? Marie says: “When you cannot talk to people in a normal, human way, you spew vile – like an abuser.”

How did the Left treat: Larry Elder, Tim Scott, Dr. Ben Carson, and Star Parker?

Did Biden tell Black Voters for Trump that they weren’t black?

Has Marie ever been called a “Nazi”? Marie recalls debating illegal immigration at a town hall meeting…

Are black Conservatives routinely denigrated instead of being openly debated? Why do many Democrats accept and/or ignore this type of blatant racism?

Are Democrats (especially black Democrats) hypocrites?

JERUSALEM, WE HAVE A PROBLEM

Discussed by Pastor Jarrett Stephens
with Champion Forest Baptist Church (www.ChampionForest.org)

Day 4

Pastor Jarrett received a fantastic phone call from astronaut Shane Kimbrough FROM OUTER SPACE! This phone call reminded him of Apollo 13 and the famous words Jim Lovell spoke, “Houston, we have a problem”, which led him to this week’s sermon, “Jerusalem, We Have a Problem.”

Find Pastor Jarrett Stephens’ sermon here.

Scripture Passage: Acts 6:1-7

Questions/Issues Discussed:

The Early Church in Jerusalem had a SOLUTION (vs 2-6)

Why were the deacons thought of as “less than”? Were they actually pretty important?

What were the criteria to be a deacon?

Pastor Jarrett shares about the special service they recently had to ordain new deacons and discusses some of their responsibilities in the church… Are the deacons the only ones called to serve in the church? HINT: Absolutely not! It’s everyone’s job! Pastor Jarrett shares a football fable to explain why everyone has a job to do within (and outside!) the church.

Why does Champion Forest model their church after the Early Church?
